Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have had one of those crazy whirlwind romances that leave everyone surprised that it’s happened. Could you have ever imagined these two stars from different galaxies finding their way to each other? And yet here we are, in a crossover where Bollywood meets Disney Channel, Bajirao Mastani meets Game of Thrones, and Desi Girl meets Videsi Boy. And it is a frickin’ fairytale.

But you know how it is, right? Haters will hate, trollers trolls will troll. And NickYanka’s union to received a whole lot of Indian aunties wala treatment. There was enough gossip abut their age difference, how soon they decided to get married, what a spectacle they were making out of it, and how much money was being spent on the wedding.

The biggest shocker of them all, though, came from an article by The Cut that labelled Priyanka Chopra as a ‘global scam artist’ who had forced Nick Jonas into marriage.

From calling PeeCee a gold digger in so many words to suggesting that Nick was only looking for a fling but was tricked into a lifetime commitment, the article strung together a whole lot of trash… talk about Priyanka. Topped it off with a clickbait-y title and published it a day after NickYanka’s wedding video and photos were released. Awesome for business!

Or so they thought. Rookie mistake!

For all the trash talking that the article did, it received triple of that back.

And mind you, this wasn’t from obsessed #NickYanka fans who make picture collages of the couple and post on their Instagram accounts. There were journalists, celebrities, authors, influencers, politicians, and basically every sane human who can use their brain, who criticised the author, and more importantly, a publication like New York Magazine for deigning to publish that.

Here’s one from Filmfare editor, Jitesh Pillai.

Saw an incredibly poorly written, racist and judgemental piece on #PriyankaChopra in @TheCut. Forget the subs, don’t the esteemed editors whet the piece before you allow such misogynistic and damning drivel to be published? Meanwhile, more power to @priyankachopra.

And another from Sonam Kapoor Ahuja.

For a publication that “shows women’s what they are made of” @TheCut has a lot to answer for . The article on @priyankachopra was sexist , racist and disgusting. Also it’s written by a woman which is so sad. It reeks of envy and bitterness. @mRiah shame on you! https://t.co/bmbbX7LrAT
